Enroute from Ålesund towards Åndalsnes I had to make a small detour around a small arm of the ‘Romsdalsfjord’named ‘Tresfjord’! The fjord itself isn’t all that impressive when it comes to size. I estimate it would take me less than an hour to drive around it. That is – if I don’t take into consideration the time used for photography and other stops underway.
Because this was a rather idyllic trip, – to express it mildly.Her et blikk innover fjorden mot Vestnesfjella med Kvitnykja (1244 m), Lauparen (1434 m) og Nonsfjellet (1200 m)

A bit further into this landscape – at the bottom of Tresfjord – we found a small private museum trying to preserve old buildings from this particular area. This cottage is from 1700.Her er et kværnhus bygget i 1800. Det er svært få slike hus bevart for ettertiden. de daterer seg ofte tilbake til 1100-tallet og ble brukt til å male korn til mel.

Here a ‘mill house’ from 1800. There are very few such mill houses preserved. They date back to approximately the 1100 and was used to convert grain into flour.

The Tresfjord church is also situated in the very end of the Tresfjord, and it is a rather special little church. The church is built in solid timber, has 8 sides and seats 240 people.
The church was founded in 1825 and was finished in 1828. The Norwegian King and Queen visited this church in 2003.Idet vi forlater vakreTresfjord, kaster vi et blikk opp på fjelltoppene som ruver over bygda

Leaving the beautiful Tresfjord, we cast one last glance on the towering peaks above the village –

And a couple of pictures that illustrates what the eastern side of Tresfjord looks like –

Det var en to timers minipresentasjon av Tresfjord 🙂

That was a two hour presentation of Tresfjord 🙂

The little ‘mill’? If you study it closely, you’ll se and opening underneath (to your left) where
the water used to run. The buildings you see were not built originally where they stand today, but otherwise they are exactly the same.

If you find this interesting, RoSy, I do have a photo report from a folks museum in Valdres including something like 40-50 pictures, but because its photographed in 4:3 I need to re-photograph quite a fev motives, thus not published as of yet.

I did Miss it, but then I may have missed many.. Love the old stones with Moss, and the roof with grass.. Beautiful countryside, and sending you Many Blessings through the New Year for you.. I hope to see you too in Dreamwalker Land 😉
Have a peaceful Weekend

Well, with cheaper and cheaper air fares, the world is virtually shrinking. And if you really want to see the world, why don’t you start planning. Did you know that flying Singapore – London tour/retour, you may se most of Europe, Africa and Middle East for no extra charge? ‘Planning’ is the name of the game!
